1. I can’t read to my kids what I cannot buy (libraries are closed and my younger kid rips books)

2. Publications should automatically enter the public domain when the publisher looses interest in re-printing them.

I’ve thought of this for a long time when i had to fork out $200 for a thermo text long out of print that my professor preferred. Most research groups had a copy they’d pass onto the next batch of grad students, but I joined a new group.

This just reinforces my belief. (Also I despise Disney’s abusive copyright prolonging tactics)
